Warning
Thank you for purchasing this Compact Audio/Video System. This state of the art system includes everything you need to experience digital video and audio in the comfort of your own living room. The only thing you need to add is your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, and even easier to use. But please, review this manual before you operate your system. Have it handy while you are setting the system up. Keep it available for future reference in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected problems. The manual begins with a description of the important controls on the main unit and the remote. It then explains how to connect your TV, and how to operate the DVD/CD player. If you follow the instructions carefully you can have the system up and operating in less than an hour.
All of the optional system settings have been preset at our factory for correct operation of the system in North America. All you have to do is insert a disk, sit back, and enjoy a great audio/video experience. Eventually you may want to change some of the optional settings. A description of all the optional settings, and instructions for changing them, is found in the second half of the manual.
This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every component in your system was in perfect working condition when it left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set up or operation of this system please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of this manual before you contact your dealer or the Emerson Customer Service Department.

Installation
This section describes how to connect the system to a TV monitor with audio/video input jacks. You cannot connect this system to a TV monitor which does not have a video input connector. Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making the connections.
Unpacking
Check that you have the following items:
• Main unit (1).
• Remote control (1).
• Audio/Video cable (4 feet x 1).
• Owner’s Manual (1).
Inserting Batteries into the Remote Control
You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two "AA" batteries by matching the + and - on the batteries with the markings in the battery compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the front panel of this system.
Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

CD-R/RW Playback
Important Information
The DVD player in this system can play normal audio CDs, recordable CDs (CD-Rs), re-writable CD's (CD-RWs). However, because of the non-compatibility of certain ripping/burning software used to record CDs, and the quality of the blank discs used for recording, 100% playability of CD-RW cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problem with your system.
• When a normal audio CD, a CD-R, or a CD-RW disc is loaded in the player the "CD" indicator will light.
Picture CD Operation
